Local Solutions to Worldwide Problems

Sex slavery is a major problem across the world and victims are innumerable. Many people in the Seattle area don't even realize that the problem is also occurring right here in our local neighborhoods and businesses. I know I certainly didn't. Or perhaps I just didn't want to.
 

That is, until I joined this Communications Small Group course at North Seattle Community College. Becoming a member of this team inspired me to work on fixing a big problem in our area that needs as much help and support as possible. Now we are banding together to bring awareness and aid to victims of sex trafficking in Washington State. Working alongside the student body at NSCC, nearby corporations, community organizations, and primarily; the The Genesis Project a local agency based in SeaTac. They provide safety, supplies, and support to countless people affected by this terrible situation.
 

I urge everyone to familiarize themselves with their mission and help in any way possible. All of the donations we collect will directly benefit them. Their website: http://www.gpseattle.org/ offers helpful links to statistics about the problem, support opportunities, and upcoming events. Most notably, a training session for future official volunteers for the Genesis Project to work directly with victims and provide emotional comfort. Here is the basic info:
